OUR VALUE
​We are passionate travelers who love to explore and adventure around the world, and we enjoy using a motorbike to do that. Riding a motorbike gives us the freedom and flexibility to venture off the usual routes, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in stunning scenery and vibrant local cultures.
Connection And Respect
We are excited to building meaningful connections with people, nature, and diverse cultures throughout our travels. Our routes and tours are developed to facilitate this. We believe that that connections should be in the reciprocal way, sharing, respecting, learning, and with an open mind.
​​
Embracing Thoughtful Practices
We believe in the philosophy of "Leave footprints, take memories (and pictures)." Our commitment goes beyond mere words; we actively engage in practices that uphold our values. Inspired by principles like "steward ownerships’ " and "doughnut economics," we operate with the belief that:
-
Profits are means to a purpose, not a goal in itself.
-
An economic mindset that meets the needs of all people within the means of the living planet
​
How Do We Put The Words In To Action?​
Our moral compass drives us to not only talk the talk, but also walk the talk.
Team collaboration
One of the ways in which we provide exceptional value is through the wide range of features that we offer. Our team created them to provide every customer with the best possible experience. Explore some of the main features below, and please get in touch to receive additional information.

Inclusive Partnerships
Simultaneously, we aim to ensure that our partners at the destinations also benefit from our collaboration – promoting inclusivity. We select our suppliers and local partners, prioritizing inclusivity by nurturing mutually beneficial relationships with our local partners. Our focus is on supporting suppliers and family-run businesses that have a positive impact on their communities, ultimately ensuring that tourism contributes to and bolsters local economies in a sustainable way.

​
​In addition to that, we offer in-kind support such as marketing guidance and business coaching. This empowers local entrepreneurs to build capacity and thrive long-term, not just as suppliers, but as sustainable community stakeholders.
Dragon Academy
We see this broader community as an association, with Dragon Trails serving as the Secretariat. As Dragon Trails, we aim to create synergies and work together to optimize the customer experience in a sustainable way.
​
The Dragon Academy is a free platform designed to help our partners expand their businesses and support our staff in advancing their career paths. The content is delivered by a blend of professional instructors and volunteer experts, ensuring practical, high-quality guidance for all learners.
​
Tour Leader Training Program is an important part of the Dragon Academy. The program is designed to train the local tour guide/ mechanic to become our qualified guide on Dragon Trails' motorbike tours. By investing in our tour leaders, Dragon Trails strengthens the quality, consistency, and authenticity of our adventures, empowering our team to lead journeys that reflect our values of respect, connection, and thoughtful travel practices.
